I was buying a bunch of lottery scratch tickets and some guy behind me was muttering about death camps. Weird.

We're all doing it to Irwin.

Was wondering, if y'all won a mega jackpot, and it come marathon time, would you donate the million at the beginning of the pledge drive, which would spoil the fundraiser... or at the end, which would just be an icing on the cake occasion

Lets take up a collection to get a Tassimo machine for WFMU so everyone can have a tasty latte or cappuccino!

@cool fool: I'd keep most of it for myself, but soak Andy with a 5 or 6 figures donation

@ cool fool:

I'd make a separate anonymous donation, with the understanding that I'd get all swag in perpetuity!

Lean over their shoulders and say, "Er, win?" Then do the sarcastic fake sympathy thing when naturally they say "no".

If I won the jackpot I would donate coffee. Regular only. I don't believe in decaf. It's like a cat without claws.

cool fool:
just saying how with wfmu making requests for derranged millionaires to make a $1million dollar donation, if there were ever to be one, surely it'd be from a listener lottery winner

@Irwin: Only discovered a few days ago that I have joint custody of an Irwin Chusid production: The Music of Raymond Scott CD my better Finn half brought to the table. Nicely done.

I'm hoping against hope he's going to cave and resort to Epsom salts. Which should be even more interesting, given their powerful laxative effect. The audience will require ponchos.

no, kids drink Purell.

@fred: yes, to tweet it.

That little blond ogling the jam looks like she has dentures.

@G: if Ken gets that look looking at Andy, we will know better than to blame it on dentures

Droll:
I wonder why bath salts so captured listeners' imaginations. Was there a similar refer madness before the pot brownie episode?
"Gee, I hope that pot doesn't make him go postal."
"If that pot doesn't kill him, the Big Gulp will."
"I heard pot changes your chromosomes, this is really what happened to Barrett."
etc.

For the record, I am also worried about Ken. Unless this is a hoax. He's got to stop hurting himself for our entertainment! WFMU needs him to be healthy and safe!

Sam:
Maybe bath salts will turn out not to be dangerous, but I doubt it. You can't compare it to reefer madness. Pot will make you paranoid, make you hungry, but bath salts make you much more anxious and suicidal. It's more like crack, you do it once and already it changes your brain in bad ways.

fred:
@?: Tell that to that blood-soaked deer tick. But I tend to agree, he's taking it into worrying zone

Wed. 8/8/12 4:29pm
G:
Safe? Based on decades of weekly data, it's a safe bet that any 7SD premise will fizzle. Statistically, Ken could not be SAFER...

Wed. 8/8/12 4:31pm
Sam:
Too bad they can't hypnotise him while he's on the bath salts

Wed. 8/8/12 4:32pm
beth salts:
maybe Andy will prepare a bath with said salts and dump Ken in it--he COULD be outnumbered. I would get down to UCB to see that.
Love the song, too, Irwin.

I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child-king long enough! And as his empire crumbles, my precious bath salts shall rise as his most fitting successor.

@Sam: he probably has exceptional resistance to outside interference, proof being his running the station for so long. Irwin has been here for roughly a century and he's still a Republican, so these people are tough

Randy Travis has an excellent mug shot in the news today. That's what drinking will do to you.

Droll:
Why is everyone assuming Ken is doing this for the show or the station? It's entirely possible Ken has personal reasons for wanting to ingest bath salts. I defend Ken's right to choose for Ken.

In the worst case, the station can use the Key-Man insurance to pay off the mortgage. Win-Win.

Wed. 8/8/12 4:46pm
Sam:
You're right Droll, Ken obviously WANTS to do this. That's what I admire about him, he does what he wants, follows his dreams and doesn't take any shit. I'd hate to see him lose the will to live though.
